All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Remember the divison realignment back in 2002, when they moved Indy out of the AFC East instead of Miami even though it makes more sense geographically for Miami to move out? Because they wanted to keep the rivalry between the Bills and the Dolphins?
Thank GOD they moved Indy out. Can you imagine our division having Indy and the Patriots? We'd NEVER have a chance.

We don't have a chance now even with Indy gone so what's the difference?
We've played Indy much better and closer than the Pats so The Answer would prefer they still played in the AFC East.

while it would have sucked for us, it also means the Pats would have had to play Indy twice a year instead of us, the Dolphins or the Jets- that would likely mean more losses and may have forced them into a few wild card rounds and kept them from SB victories.
of course, if Indy was in our division and won those SB's it would be just as bad...
I don't really think it was just the Miami-Bills rivalry that inticed them. The NY Jets-Miami rivalry is bigger than the Bills-Miami one.
The Answer disagrees - Jets/Miami rivalry is petty compared to Buffalo/Miami.
We're talking the 20 straight wins by Miami in the 70's, Levy/90's bills dominating Marino/Shula including blowout in the 92' AFC championship in Miami, Brian Cox, Jimmy Johnson stifling The Flutie led Bills in the playoffs to the current domination by Buffalo.
So many memorable moments and epic battles you can't even keep track.
We need a renewed rivalry spearheaded by two great young quarterbacks. We have JP and they have Daunte, I mean Joey, wait..Cleo- it doesn't matter if we both suck!
We need to be able to consistently beat the Pats and Jets (Miami does, too) before there will ever be a rivalry between these two teams. Everybody tune in, both teams are 6-7 and could battle for that critical 3rd spot in the AFC East!
They should have really re done it. A division with Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincy would have been amazing.
I mentioned this a while back, though I think I'd keep the Jets or NE over Cincy. The division needs a true large-market team to keep the media interest and such. But the main importance is location. Having away games in close proximity definitely helps a sell-out game for both teams involved. Also, closeness creates a rivalry of it's own kind. Ravens fans hate Skins and Eagles fans just because they're close - they're not even in the same conference.
